SAVE Act priced at just 2.4% to become law before Jan. 4 on Kalshi

Quiet quarter-hour — no significant new platform headline in the last 15 minutes, so this fresh political contract leads, in a different category from the previous three…

Kalshi traders are assigning a low probability to the SAVE Act, H.R. 22, becoming law before Jan. 4, 2027. The headline published Oct. 13, 2026, at 8:54 PM ET puts the probability at 2.4%, while the supplied market snapshot from predictionbubbles.net shows 2.3%.

A small daily rise, a larger historical decline

According to predictionbubbles.net, the contract’s latest quoted probability was up 0.2 percentage points over the preceding 24 hours. Lifetime trading volume stood at $14.5M, including $21K in the last day, placing it number 94 among 954 open politics markets by volume.

The longer price history points in the opposite direction. Across the 430 days charted, the sampled Yes price fell from 8.0% to 2.4%, a decline of 5.6 percentage points. It ranged from 2.0% to 23.0% during that period. PredictionBubbles reports the price changes without identifying their cause.

Deadline and price distinctions

The contract resolves on 4 January 2027, according to predictionbubbles.net. The supplied page displays 82 days remaining and says that countdown is recalculated every 15 minutes. That displayed countdown should be distinguished from the article’s Oct. 13, 2026 publication timestamp.

PredictionBubbles says its Kalshi quotes are last-traded prices obtained through the exchange’s public API and refreshed every 15 minutes. At 2.3%, a contract paying $1 on a successful resolution costs roughly 2.3 cents. The figure reflects market pricing, not a forecast issued by the tracking site.

A related Polymarket contract asks whether the SAVE Act becomes law by December 31, 2026. According to predictionbubbles.net, it has traded $257K and resolves on 1 January 2027. The supplied material gives no probability for that contract, and its deadline differs from Kalshi’s.

What it means for prediction markets

  • The outcome remains priced as unlikely: The 2.3% snapshot and 2.4% headline both indicate a low market-implied probability, not certainty that the bill will fail to become law.
  • The daily move is modest: A 0.2-percentage-point rise sits against a 5.6-percentage-point decline across the charted history; the source provides no explanation for either move.
  • Comparisons require matching deadlines: The Kalshi and Polymarket questions cover different cutoff dates, and no Polymarket price is supplied.
  • Snapshot details matter: Last-traded prices, periodic refreshes and the displayed countdown warrant attention when interpreting the figures as current.

China invading Taiwan by end of 2026 priced at just 2.1% on $44M traded

Polymarket's Taiwan-invasion contract sits at 2.1%, down 0.1 points, on $44.0M lifetime traded — the board's largest geopolitics position by volume, and a contract…

Low odds, substantial trading

Polymarket traders priced a Chinese invasion of Taiwan by the end of 2026 at 2.1%, down 0.1 percentage points, in the snapshot published Oct 13, 2026, at 8:54 PM ET. Lifetime trading totaled $44.0M, making the contract the largest geopolitics market by volume on the PredictionBubbles board.

The figures pair a low market-implied probability with substantial cumulative activity. The volume ranking measures how much has traded, not how likely traders consider the event or how much money remains committed to outstanding positions.

Reading the snapshot

According to predictionbubbles.net, its board covers 2138 open markets from Kalshi and Polymarket, with prices refreshed every 15 minutes. It reports daily probability changes in percentage points rather than percentage returns.

That distinction matters for the Taiwan contract: the reported 0.1-point decline represents a small downward adjustment, not a major repricing. The supplied material identifies no news development behind the move and does not provide a longer price history for the contract.

PredictionBubbles also distinguishes lifetime volume from liquidity available in the order book and the value of positions still open. The $44.0M figure therefore cannot, by itself, establish current trading depth. Nor does the supplied material include the Taiwan contract’s detailed settlement criteria, which determine exactly what would qualify as an invasion.

What it means for prediction markets

  • The price signals a low-probability outcome, not impossibility. The 2.1% reading reflects the market’s assessment rather than a verified probability.
  • Volume and exposure are different measures. The board-leading geopolitics turnover does not mean $44.0M is currently at risk in open positions.
  • The deadline and rules matter. This contract concerns an invasion by the end of 2026; interpreting its price requires the precise settlement terms, which were not provided.
